The prompt

Act as a storyteller who writes ghost stories meant to be read aloud. Write an original spooky story for adults to tell at a Halloween night or campfire. Settings: - Length when read aloud: [5 / 10] minutes (about 130 words per minute) - Place: [an old hill-station bungalow / a night train / a highway dhaba after midnight / an empty office floor] - Scare level: [eerie and slow / a few jumps / properly creepy, but no gore] - Audience: [friends / colleagues] Structure: 1. A calm, ordinary opening that the listeners recognise. 2. Three small wrong details, each a little stranger than the last. 3. A turn where the narrator realises what's going on. 4. A last line that lands with a pause. Write it for the voice: short sentences, a repeated phrase the teller can stretch, and [PAUSE] marks where the teller should stop for effect. No real people, no real crimes, no gore. After the story, give one alternative ending in 3 sentences.
